Использование трансактного анализа для установления и поддержания психологического контакта в ходе допроса. Часть 1

Abstract

The problem of psychological contact is considered in the context of forensic interrogation tactics and the conclusion is drawn that “psychological contact” is more of a legal term than a psychological one. Further, the essence of psychological contact is revealed through examples of situations that any person living in society has had to face. Thus, avoiding dry formulations of general words, an idea is given of what the state of psychological contact is in the process of communication, through the reader’s personal experience, the state and sensations that he can remember from his life experience. Thus, transferring this concept from the field of abstract book formulations into your own cognitive space, which already allows you to use it more consciously in modeling various situations and choosing strategies and tactics during interrogation. The possibility of using transactional analysis to establish and maintain psychological contact during interrogation is also discussed. For this purpose, the basic provisions and concepts of transactional analysis proposed by Eric Berne are briefly revealed: the concept and mechanism of transactions, the meaning and main characteristics of “ego states” or positions from which a person enters into dialogue. A way to use this theory to establish and maintain psychological contact during interrogation is proposed. It is concluded that for a more effective interrogation, the investigator must understand from which ego state of the interrogated the transactional stimulus came and return the appropriate response, encouraging the development of psychological contact and further productive communication interaction, for which it is necessary to control one’s ego state in order avoid overlapping transactions that could be perceived as rudeness, insolence, or other manifestation of disrespect on the part of the interrogator.
